2:00 @ Picnic Shelter #7. Bring your favorite dish; e-mail me
with what you are bringing.
Don't forget your cooler stocked full of drinks!
We'll be doing the usual build a cache. Instead of
raffling it off as usual, we will be placing it in the park.
There will be an animal demonstration, as well as a possible
pontoon ride on the lake (depending on the water level)

Reed Bingham State Park is located in Adel in the
midst of Albany, Thomasville, and Valdosta. The park
surrounds a 375-acre lake that has become a major boating and
waterskiing attraction in south Georgia. Fishing for bass,
crappie, catfish and bream is excellent. The Coastal Plain
Nature Trail and Gopher Tortoise Nature Trail wind through a
cypress swamp sandhill area and other habitats
representative. Watchful visitors may see waterfowl, the
threatened gopher tortoise and indigo snake, and other
creatures. However, the park's most famous residents are the
thousands of black vultures and turkey vultures that arrive
in late November and stay through early April, making this
park the largest winter vulture roost in Georgia.
Check their web page out for more details, including
a map of the park.
